Anxious to get a de -escalation in the trade war launched by Donald Trump, the EU walks on eggs. New evidence was provided on Monday: during the daily press point of the European Commission, its spokespersons refused to give the slightest precision as to the visit to Washington, the same day, of the European Commerce Commissioner Maros Sefcovic to try to influence the American position on commercial taxes. Too sensitive. Nothing at the time of the meeting. Not a word either on the issue of possible official communication. Word: wait and see. “We negotiate on the one hand and prepare the response on the other if the negotiations should not succeed,” was content to recall the spokesperson Olof Gill. Before Donald Trump decreed a 90 -day break, the EU was preparing to draw his list of American products which would in turn be surcharged, in reprisals. There is also talk of taxing tech giants.
